A few seconds ago, I just left a review on Stay Strong. This is one of the rare occasions that the sequel was even better than the first story. I had to say, I had my doubts about this fic with an OC as the main character as I don't usually read fics where a canon character wasn't the main character but you made me fall in love with Sydney. This story was one of the few that made me cry, but I also laughed and smiled and even felt embarrassed on a character's behalf. Again, thank you for writing this fic. It was from this story that I regained my inspiration to start writing again.

P.s: I saw that there was a sequel to this, I haven't read it yet, I just had to review on both stories first, but I'm so so excited to find out that there was a follow up.

I feel sad that Sydney is dead (at least I think she is, unless you are planning something sneaky for the epilogue), but I do think it was... necessary. I feel really sorry for Gale though, nothing good ever comes his way. I hope the future will be brighter for him, he deserves it. I have enjoyed this and I have enjoyed Keep fighting. Hopefully you will continue writing HG fanfiction :)

I have to say that I love that you can see in this chapter the difference between guys and girls.
"So that's all it took. A fight and a common enemy. I didn't question it. The time to bury the hatchet had come" is so spot on when it comes to relationships between guys and girls. Girls have a tendency to hold grudges and the fights they have are always a big deal, but for guys it's more physical, a few punches here and there and they are pretty much over it. Of course this doesn't have to be the case for everyone, but in general.
I'm also loving the bromance between Peeta and Gale, keep that up ;)
